Overview

Diisopropyl adipate is a multi-functional ingredient with the primary function of being an emollient.

This ingredient provides a light and dry feel when applied to the skin, and it is often used to reduce tack in formulas that would otherwise feel greasy or oily. Diisopropyl adipate also assists in solubilizing fragrances. It is known for not distorting fragrance notes, which makes it well-suited for this function.

Finally, diisopropyl adipate can act as a plasticizer, as well, meaning it softens products that are normally hard, such as lipsticks and even the films formed in nail polishes.
